Yeah I remember, but someone this year pounded us with it like no other and it just felt helpless to watch.

Although back when Vick did it, tbh, I actually never felt that scared about him running on us when he was with ATL... It seemed like we did a fairly good job of controlling that back then, especially after we got TD.

But, I'm telling you... whoever that was this year, that was really difficult to watch.

You have got to be fuging kidding me.

Vick slaughtered us with his ability to scramble.

Time will tell.

Truthfully, Rivera and Newton aren't the only ones that need to be patient. Fans should too.

We've got the shiny new toy, and everybody wants to play with it. Problem is playing with this toy too soon voids the warranty, so that's an urge everyone needs to resist.

So why wasn't we patient with Clausen? I don't like the pick still, but I've come to terms with it and will support Newton. My problem is we didn't give Clausen a fair shake. Lame duck coaching staff + 3/5 starters gone off o-line = disaster.

The words "fans" and "patience" are most commonly joined by the phrase "don't have any".

Clausen isn't gone yet, and I wouldn't assume that he will be.

Nor should he be gone. If anything, we now see what he's made of. If he succeeds, we have a great trading piece. If he doesn't, would it be fair to assume the 2010 draft was largely a bust, just because he didn't pan out (and we took Newton the very next year)?

This is a junction in Clausen's career. He can guide his future more so than ever.

The writing is on the wall, Scotty.

You don't take a huge gamble on a character with as many red flags as Newton if you think Clausen has a future with your franchise.

      @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.

      RODS gotta GO

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.

      You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
